going to point 4 too : Its normal they test new drugs on animals, but testing them on enemies of your nation and people would be wrong?

Ouch.

This debate is over, and I'm unsubscribing to this thread. The torture and forced medical experimentation on the "enemies" of a "nation" was an offense to all mankind, and I won't discuss anything with anyone who supports it, no offense. But I am offended by pro-Nazi, pro-torture, holocaust deniers.

Have fun.

And we imprisoned citizens, massacred Japanese and ran openly racist war films. We firebombed Dresden and use teh nook to impress teh Soviets.

War is very gray. The Allies get a pass on many a warcrime. Not that I care mind you. Hitler could not be tolerated for the simple fact a strong Germany has always upset the Russians and British/Americans. He would've been a threat to hegemony. /Devils adovacate

As for my official position. I side with General Patton. Ground the hun into dust, destroy the japs and then on to Moscow to finish the job.

Although one can easily find bad stuff happening in the democracies during WW2, I'd say the fundamental elements of aggressive expansion (Lebensraum etc) dictatorship and political/racial persecution meant one hell of a difference between the two political systems.

I do think this thread has outlived its purpose though. Unless someone can give me a good reason to open it again this thread will remain closed.
